Abstract
⺠We present steady-state determinations of reaction intermediates and ATPase activity. ⺠We show occlusion of Rb+ (a K+ congener) during a cycling mode taking place at null [Na+]. ⺠Phosphoenzyme formed by ATP at null [Na+] differs from the one obtained with Na+. ⺠Binding of Na+ to transport sites during catalysis is not at random unless rapid equilibrium holds. ⺠We present a minimal kinetic model that reproduces the results.
